1983: THE X-MEN AND THE MICRONAUTS in MARVEL AGE MAGAZINE (Marvel Comics)

From 1983: A behind-the-scenes feature (and exclusive cover) devoted to THE X-MEN AND THE MICRONAUTS four-parter from the pages of in-house puff-piece producer MARVEL AGE MAGAZINE.

The cover was a special MARVEL AGE commission.

See the previous post for the cover gallery.

This, incidentally, was the first issue of MA to boast 32 pages (for a mere 35 cents compared with 60 cents for a regular Marvel title... and they contained external advertising but, of course, cost a lot more to make) rather than the initial 16 pages (for a quarter).

SLOW ROBOT

Welcome to STARLOGGED!
It's a repository, and celebration, of Geek Media (mostly print) from the 'Star Age': that pre-millennial period between, roughly, 1972 (the opening of Marvel UK) and 1999 (the release of The Phantom Menace... and the end of innocence). But, of course, we'll bend the rules when we want to.
I only reproduce long out-of-print items for historical reference. I don't include anything that's currently in-print, is likely to be reprinted or otherwise commercially exploited by the copyright holder.
Comments and contributions are most welcome.
